Match Recap

Chicago Fire needed a response and got it late, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win over New York City FC with a winner in the 87th minute. Hannes Wolf had put the visitors ahead in the 19th, but Anton Saletros leveled things in the second half before Maren Haile-Selassie settled it in the dying minutes. It's a result Chicago can lean on heading into the rest of the Major League Soccer season, sitting fourth with 45 points, while New York City FC slip further back in ninth on 33. The comeback also ends a rough personal run for the Fire against this opponent, having lost all three of their last meetings with NYCFC before finally turning the tide. For a side that had struggled to find answers against this rival, scoring twice in the final 35 minutes says plenty about the character on display. Watch how Haile-Selassie's 87th-minute strike unfolds in the highlights below, the goal that flipped the script on a game New York City FC looked to have in hand.
